Posted by Jerard | July 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Fine work. Good results. Excellent person.

I just finished working with Foster. A very good experience. The story: I'm in NYC. I was hired as a subcontractor for a company in San Francisco. My client's client (in Paris) curtailed a five month project one month in. My client was complimentary of the work I had done, but refused to liv...e up to the project cancellation terms of our contract. He stopped returning calls, emails, and wouldn't see me when I was in San Francisco on other business. Enter Foster. He did his homework. We had thorough discussions on the matter. His correspondence to my client was articulate, serious, and effective. Ultimately, I was paid in full. In our first conversation Foster detailed what I should anticipate in terms of expenses. He kept me abreast of charges, via phone and emails, and there were no surprises. I made a point of giving him detailed information, in an orderly fashion so as to help minimize his time, but I still have to credit him for working efficiently. Early on he also discussed possible routes we could take, including litigation variations, likely outcomes, and corresponding costs. As things progressed Foster made recommendations, but in an informative way, There was no pressure for me to take specific actions. It was collegial. While I don't look forward to another difficult client, I would look forward to working with Foster again. He's a good guy, and he takes care of business. Thank you, Foster.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
